    It's written in the stars or bloody Rotherham or some other tricky yet uninteresting tie.

    A new ground for a lot of fans so I'd imagine we'll take quite a few.

    Stoke only beat Walsall on penalties and made a lot of changes so like last night if we play well we'll have a chance.

    Would have been the other way around but due to the tiny home ground capacity-missed out on significant revenue. Probably more at our game than theirs in all honesty.

    I said this for the last tie, don’t think it’s a bad one at all and winnable.

    These ties and games like Huddersfield and Bolton are a far cry from only last year playing teams like Barrow and Harrogate every week.

    Blackburn played their reserves and id expect Stoke to do the same.
